All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated, and well supported in logic and argument than others. -Douglas Adams, author (11 Mar 1952-2001)
Johnson would be a bit of a flight risk. Drafting someone only to have them go home to WA at the first opportunity would not be ideal.
It's not just Sydney that didn't select him when available. After Freo's second pick, St Kilda, Port Adelaide, Essendon, GWS, Brisbane (twice), Richmond and Melbourne also didn't select him. West Coast also passed on him to get Chesser. So there's something going on.
IMO Sheldrick will be a very good player for us. Our weakness of late has been winning the clearances and that's something he's good at. His owning of JHF in an interstate match with SA is another big tick.
Time will tell. I'm confident both will play alot of games.
BUT... you can't say don't pick a WAustralian due to go home factor to advocate picking another WAustralian!

Great selection. There is obviously something about these Warner Bros that the Swans see and that the other clubs are not seeing. Have a feeling that Corey can make huge strides in the professional environment like Chad has done.
Maybe he’s the left footer that will replace Dawson.
Go home factor for Chad has been as good as eliminated.
Sad day for the East Fremantle Cricket Club as they will soon lose two players.
What would cap off the Corey selection would be for TheBloods to declare that Corey will be in the round 1 2022 team.
Time will tell. I'm confident both will play alot of games.

Different players.
There was a reason why Johnson slid so far down the draft compared to pre-draft expectations, and not drafted by half a dozen clubs. What was that reason? Was there any signs of a go-home factor evident in the clubs' pre-draft meetings?
Sheldrick is different, seems keen to play anywhere. The big shock for Sheldrick was his being drafted in the first round, it buggered up his draft party plans.
